    Beautiful accommodation that felt so spacious and relaxing

    A few rooms have a private but detached bathroom accessible in the hallway. Obviously this isn't something that can be changed and was no issue at all but just be aware of it in case you are sensitive to that

    The rooms are so spacious and the whole place is so well fit out and finished.

    This boutique B&B is extraordinarily well presented. Everything works, it’s close to the town centre, and it is absolutely stunning in its style. It is spacious and private and the management is always around if needed. We have stayed at a lot of these places and Cedar House really .impressed us.

    Continental breakfast on our second day was disappointing in that there was insufficient food for the number of guests = appreciate the owners had to take an early flight to Auckland so all forgiven!

    beautiful property which was perfect for our needs - would certainly stay there again

    There was no tea making facilities in the bedroom we had to walk upstairs to make tea or get a drinking glass. Also as a gf person I had toast or toast for breakfast. No cereals for GF.

    Ease of access to the town meant that we could walk from property. We loved the comfortable room, and sitting room. The owners were very helpful and knowledgeable about the Gisborne area.

    Everything was fine

    We had a large, bright, downstairs ensuite room with access to the pool area. It was well decorated and the room and the bed were very comfortable. The shower was also great. Breakfast was well laid out in dining room with shared family table. Good choices and very relaxed. The flow of the common areas was lovely. After checking out we sat outside in the pool area whilst waiting for our ride. A pleasant end to our comfortable stay.

    There was nothing we didn’t like, only comment that, as we were the first to stay in the Pool House, perhaps side lamp in the bedrooms and one hair dryer - but you couldn’t fault this place - it was fantastic!

    Everything. The property itself, the hosts, the area - was the best stay

    The private bathroom was across the hall, but this was a minor inconvenience. There was no fridge in the room, but there was a portable cooler for my medications. Again, only a minor quibble.

    The room was large and very comfortable, as were the public rooms. The staff were very accommodating, and the location was quiet and perfect for my purposes. There was a generous range of breakfast options and hot drinks available at any time of the day. I would certainly stay again.

    Unfortunately our plans and schedule did not allow us to enjoy the facility and amenities it offered as a whole. Next time we will definitely leave more time to relax and take a swim, have a meal and enjoy the property and other amenities on offer.

    The property and accommodation itself was delightful and comfortable, and although our room did not include an ensuite, we did have a very private, lovely & modern bathroom opposite our bedroom. There was also a thoughtfully stocked kitchenette with a great selection of complimentary beverages, snacks and treats. Unfortunately we did not get to have the delicious complimentary breakfast that was available each morning, as we already had plans.
